Hi,
I was attempting to change the tires on the cub this weekend and I couldn't get one of the wheels off. The wheel spins fine, no noise and no noticeable drag but after removing the axle nut the wheel stayed put.

As I pull on the tire it will move out about a quarter of an inch and stops. At this point it is also difficult to spin. I can then push it back into position on the axle and then it spins fine again.

I know the wheel has not been removed for a few years to say the least.

Any thoughts before I punt and send it to the shop?

thanks
Scott
